Digitale Gewalt mit KI, über 1.000 Fälle von Online-Rassismus – und ZARA, der Meldestelle für digitale Gewalt und Rassismus, wird die Förderung gekürzt. Damit steht diese unverzichtbare Anlaufstelle vor dem Aus. ZARA muss bleiben! Jetzt unterzeichnen: mein.aufstehn.at/petitions/za...
Six months of asking for better security and those idiots in ops decide what we need are weapons lockers. My people are technicians, not guards! Best case it's just more to get stolen since the code on the lockers is just 0000. I'm going straight to Miller with this, I think she's in Environmental.
ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.
Mitbekommen? Die AfD verlor am Sonntag alle Bürgermeisterwahlen im Osten, haushoch – sogar in ihren eigenen Hochburgen. Der NDR zum Beispiel berichtet oft über AfD-Erfolge – aber erwähnt jetzt nicht die Niederlagen. www.volksverpetzer.de/analyse/afd-...
So happy for Hungary and Europe!
Playing TOTK fighting Kohga while listening to the Blasphemous OST makes this a very surreal experience.
Went out dancing with a colleague and got a compliment for my outfit from a random girl in the bathroom at the club <3
Rediscovering Peter Licht. I used to listen to his songs in the early naughties as a teen, mostly because I liked the chill electro sounds and the somewhat nonsensical lyrics. Curious, if now I will have some sort of profound revelation what it all means.
NOTICE: HAVE ANY OF YOU AGENTS EVER NOTICED THAT THE EARTH IS…KIND OF A BADDIE? 🌎👄💅👀
Kevin Bridges is coming to Vienna in January 2027. Next birthday present for me: sorted!
Men like that are a curse.
GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

New episode of Thre Inside Man (IT Awareness training that is presented as a TV show) and I am shipping Mark and Maurice so hard AND HOW IS THIS NOT A THING ON AO3???
Green-tinted image showing a bowl of strawberries created by Japanese psychologist Akiyoshi Kitaoka that doesn’t have any red pixels in it, despite the strawberries looking red (they're actually grey, and it's just their relation to the overall green tint combined with what colour we expect to see on a strawberry that creates the illusion).
US: “I believe it when I see it! Reality is what our senses tell us! Always trust yourself!”
SCIENCE: “Here is a picture created by Japanese psychologist Akiyoshi Kitaoka that doesn’t have any red pixels in it, showing how easily we’re all fooled by what we think we can see. Have a lovely day.”
my god, what utter class
Once again I have to say: Zelda TotK is just too big! I have so many hours in this game and I only just found out you can build your own house??? What???
A watercolor painting of a little landscape scene with bushes to the left, some grass in the middle and a tree with pink blossoms and green leafs to the right. The background is a light blue sky.
Picked up my kurotake watercolors today for the first time in a while! It was fun to just doodle around with no expectations, goal or plan. Which is probably why I like the result so much.
![The photo shows four images of the same Roman iron stylus (pen) one below the other, with knib to the left. This stylus is octagonal in shape, with an inscription dot-punched along its length on four alternate sides. The stylus is 132 mm long and 5 mm thick, and the letters are circa 2 mm high. The four images of the pen show the four lines of inscribed text (highlighted) which read:
‘ab urbe v[e]n[i] munus tibi gratum adf(e)ro
acul[eat]um ut habe[a]s memor[ia]m nostra(m)
rogo si fortuna dar[e]t quo possem
largius ut longa via ceu sacculus est (v)acuus’
Translated as
‘I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift
with a sharp point that you may remember me.
I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able (to give)
as generously as the way is long (and) as my purse is empty.’
This inscription is generally interpreted by scholars as a humorous, tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment by the giver of the cheapness of the gift.
The pen was used to write on wax-filled wooden writing tablets. Found in London (Roman ‘Londinium’) by MOLA, during excavations for Bloomberg’s European Headquarters in 2010–2014 .

Timeless humour!
A 2,000 year-old Roman souvenir pen with a joke inscription roughly equivalent to:
“I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen!" 😂
Dated circa 70 AD, this iron stylus pen was recovered in London during excavations by MOLA. 📷 Juan Jose Fuldain/MOLA

Happy 8th birthday, you guys! 👽👻🎂🥂
I have two drives:
the drive of Despair and the drive of Impish Delights
faz-teaser: Ein Parteienverbot ist nicht undemokratisch. Aber es ist auch kein normales Mittel im Meinungskampf, falls man an der Wahlurne keinen Erfolg hat.
Liebe FAZ, der Verfassungsschutz stuft die AfD als gesichert rechtsextremistisch ein. Ihr macht daraus: Wer ein Verbot will, hat nur an der Wahlurne verloren. So wird aus einem Befund ein Meinungskampf und aus Rechtsextremismus eine Meinung. Das ist fahrlässig und gefährlich verharmlosend.
If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Die Grundstruktur der Rede: Wer die AfD verbieten will, wolle "rechte" Politik generell verbieten und sei damit selbst der Demokratiefeind. Wir kennen diese Argumentation, man nennt sie "Strohmann". Art. 21 GG fragt nicht, ob eine Partei links oder rechts ist. Es geht um die Verfassungswidrigkeit.

Wenn wir warten, bis die Faschisten wieder Konzentrationslager fordern, bevor wir anfangen, sie mit allen Mitteln des Rechtsstaates & der Verfassung zu bekämpfen, wird es zu spät sein, um die Demokratie zu retten. Wir müssen es tun, wenn sie anfangen, über "Remigration" & „Ausbürgerung“ zu sprechen.
